Now that I have read the first section of Boy in the stripped pajamas I can elaborate on the actual story. Turns out that Maria is the family maid, and she is not the only maid the family has. However she is the maid closest to Bruno. He seems to respect her a lot, though she is like a nanny. His mother tells him to always treat maria respectfully and to not speak to her like his father does. Maria was the one doing Bruno's packing after he came home from playing with his friends. He comes to vend out that he is moving to a different place because of his father's promotion. People respected his dad, and saw him and his job as something to take seriously. Some even said that the father was a man to watch, Bruno was very aware of the importance of his fathers job. Especially since he was never ever allowed to enter his father's office no matter what. However Bruno was not entirely sure of what job his father did.
When they move the mother and Bruno have a small discussion because Bruno absolutely feels though they should return to their old home back in Berlin, where there was a beautiful view and lots of friends to play with. His mother explained to him that this was going to be their home for the time being, and that he had to get accustomed to it.
One day while Bruno was extremely bored, he asked one of the men that worked with his father named Kotler, who was fairly young, if there where any tires that were not being used so that he could make a swing. After joking a bit about another general he yelled at once of the Jewish people named Pavel, or as Bruno called him one of the waiters. He spoke to the man extremely rood, although the man was way much older, and told him to get Bruno the tire. He ordered the man around though he had no respect for him. While he did so, Gretel, Bruno's sister, stared at Kotler as though she was falling in love.
After Bruno got his tire, and made his swing he had a small accident happened. He fell through the tire and while one of his legs was still inside the rim of the tire he landed face down on the ground. At one moment everything went black, then he came back. When he sat up on the ground the tire hit him upside the head once again, and he almost fell after inspecting his body for any broken limbs. However this time Pavel had scooped him up before he hit the ground. Pavel cleaned the blood, and quickly cared for Bruno till his mother entered the house. She was a bit disgusted and puzzled. After finding out what had happened she asked Bruno to go up to his room and as Bruno walked away he over heard his mother say thank you to Pavel, and that if re husband asked she would not tell him it was he who cared for Bruno.

"He heard one last thing before going upstairs and that was Mother's last line to the waiter who claimed to be a doctor"(Boyne 85).
Reaction:
This was when Bruno was walking to his room after his mother found Pavel helping him with his small wound. Pavel had told Bruno how he had practiced to be a doctor before. This quote stood out to me because that goes to show that many of the Jewish people had a life before they became prisoners, and people like Pavel could have as important people as Bruno's father. I also found it ironic that the people who are being treated harshly are still caring. Pavel did not take it as This is a person I have to work for, as a slave. He took it as a boy who simply needed help. I think Bruno and Pavel will bond.
